"A mystery and coming-of-age drama set against the backdrop of an elite all-girls rowing club as they navigate first loves, first heartbreaks, and the bonds that form when winning isn't the only thing on the line. Soon to be adapted for Hulu, by the producer of Pretty Little Liars! For high-achieving Margaret Douglas, rowing is everything-her friends, her family, and her way into college. As a senior and varsity captain, she has made many sacrifices to get where she is. But after she mysteriously disappears for the summer, rumors swirl: Was Margaret at Olympic training? Rehab? Under house arrest? Whatever happened, it clearly haunts her . . . and when she returns at the beginning of the season, Margaret discovers that the sisterhood she once knew has moved on without her. Meanwhile, spunky freshman and new girl Jo Bryant is only rowing because of her father: former Olympian, Boston legend, and the person Jo blames for her parents' divorce. Jo knows nothing about crew, or why Margaret's return has everyone at the boathouse whispering, but she does know that Margaret is the only person who doesn't treat her like a joke. For both girls, the varsity team is a sisterhood earned in five a.m. wake-ups and blistered hands. But there are secrets and scandals waiting to surface-and with the biggest race of the year on the horizon, Margaret, Jo, and their teammates are about to find out just how deep those secrets go."
